Son's cab never made it home

June 04, 2006

This week's Crime of the Week comes from the missing person files of the South Bend Police Department. On May 5, 1989, 22-year-old Sargeant Micek left his home and went to the Bear's Den, which at that time was in the 100 block of North Michigan Street. After a night of drinking, he called home to get a ride, and because it was 3:30 a.m., his mother asked him to take a taxi home. Sargeant Micek has not been heard from or seen since that call. Micek was described as a white man, about 5-foot-7 and 165 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes and a mustache. He was last seen wearing black pants, a black shirt and a black leather jacket with the words Western Southern on it. If you know what happened to Sargeant Micek and call Crime Stoppers, you could receive a cash reward of up to $1,000 if your information leads to an arrest or indictment.
